Mediterranean rescuers say saved 175,000 people since 2015 ...Middle East

The group of 21 NGOS active in the region estimated that at least 28,932 people had died while trying to cross the sea since 2015.

In that area, the equivalent of five adults and one child lost their lives every day over the past decade, she said.

Of the 21 organisations currently engaged in maritime rescue in the region, 10 of them are based in Germany. Between them the groups operate 15 boats, four sail ships and four planes.

In Italy the current government has vowed to end crossings and attacked NGOs for creating a “pull factor” that encourages departures, something migration observers say is unproven.

“The pressure on us is growing,“ Schaefer said, criticising a lack of support from the German government.

The proposal, which had been sent to the German government and to the European Commission, called for the EU to spend between 108-240 million euros ($124-276 million) a year on rescue patrols and arrival centres.
